Installing and Connection
This chapter describes how to install a
DSR-500AC/1000AC device in a standard 19-inch
equipment rack and how to connect cables and
power to the device.
Before You Begin
Observe the following precautions to help prevent shutdowns, equipment failures and injuries:
- Before installation, always check that the power supply is disconnected.
- Ensure that the room in which you operate the device has adequate air circulation and that the room temperature does Not exceed 40oC(104oC)
- Allow 1 meter (3 feet) of clear space to the front and back of the device.
- Do not place the device in an equipment rack frame that blocks the air vents on the sides of the chassis. Ensure that enclosed racks have fans and louvered sides
- Correct these hazardous conditions before any installation: moist or wet floors, leaks, ungrounded or frayed power cables, or missing safety grounds.
Installing Equipment
You can mount the DSR-500AC/1000AC device into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. To install an appliance into a rack:
- Attach the mounting brackets to each side of the chassis as shown in figure 3 and secure them with the screws provided. Figure 3. Attaching Rack Mount Brackets
- Then, use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the device in the rack. Figure 4. Installing the Wireless AC Services Router in a standard-sized equipment rack
Connecting Power and Turning On/Off
-
The AC Power adapter shipped with the device connects the device to earth ground when plugged an AC grounding-type power outlet. The device must be connected to earth ground during normal operation.
-
To connect power to the device, plug one end of the AC power core into the AC power appliance inlet on the back panel of the device. Plug the other end into an AC power source.
Note: We recommend using a surge protector for the power connection. -
To power on the DSR-500AC/1000AC device, press the AC power switch on the rear panel to the on position. To power off the device, press the power switch to the off position.
Connecting the Device to a Network
This section provides basic information about physically connecting the DSR- 500AC / 1000AC to a network. To connect the necessary cables as shown in Figure 5.
- Connect an RJ-45 cable from the port labeled WAN1 to the external router. The port WAN1 is pre-allocated to the WAN1 network segment.
- Connect an RJ-45 cable from the port labeled LAN (1-4) to a switch in the LAN network segment.
- Connect an RJ45-to-DB9 cable from the console port for CLI (Command Line Interface) management access.
Figure 5. Basic Cabling Example
Initial Configuration
The Wireless AC Services Router software is preinstalled on the DSR- 500AC/1000AC device. When the device is powered on, it is ready to be configured. While the device has a default factory configuration that allow you to initially connect to the device, you must perform further configuration for your specific network requirements.
Using the WebUI
To use the WebUI, the workstation from which you are managing the device must initially be on the same subnetwork as the device.
| Browser | Version |
|---|---|
| Microsoft Internet Explorer | 6.0 or higher |
| Mozilla Firefox | 3.5 or higher |
| Netscape Navigator | 9.0 or higher |
| Apple Safari | 4.0 and later |
| Google Chrome | 3.0 and later |
Table 4. Browser Compatibility
To access the device with the WebUI:
-
Connect your workstation on the port labeled LAN (1-4), which is pre-allocated to the LAN.
-
Ensure your workstation is configured with a static IP address in the 192.168.10.0/24 subnet.
Note: Disable pop-up blocking software or add the management IP address Https://192.168.10.1 to your pop-up blocker’s allow list. -
Launch your browser; enter the IP address for the LAN interface. (The factory default IP address is Https://192.168.10.1), then press Enter.

Figure 7. Authentication Message
Using a Console Connection (RJ45-to-DB9 DCE)
The Wireless AC Services Router provides an serial port that enables a connection to a computer or terminal for monitoring and config-uring the device. This port is a RJ-45 connector, implemented as a data communication terminal equipment (DCE) connection.
To use the console port connection, you need the following equipment:
- A terminal or a computer with both a serial port and the ability to emulate a terminal.
- A RJ45-to-DB9 RS-232 with female connector. (Already included in packing list)
- If your Laptop or PC doesn’t have RS-232 connector, a converter is required.
Note: DSR-500AC/1000AC does not come with RS-232 converter and these must be purchased separately.
To establish a console connection:
- Plug the RJ-45 connector of the supplied RJ45-to-DB9 cable directly to the console port on the Wireless AC Services Router.
- Connect the other end of the cable to a terminal or to the serial connector of a computer running terminal emulation software. Set the terminal emulation software as following:
- Baud rate: 115200
- Data bits: 8
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
- Flow control: None
- When you have correctly set up the terminal, having previously followed the instructions in section 2.3, “Connecting Power and Turn the Device On/Off” then switch on your device. The boot sequence appears in the terminal.
- Once the boot sequence completes, the command prompt is displayed, the device is ready to be configured.
Finalizing the Configuration
After initial setup, you should refer to the companion publications found in PDF format on the accompanying master CD for more information on how to begin to configure the DSR-500AC/1000AC device.
